Tik-Tok - I would STRONGLY advise that you get the hell off it if you're on it.

I don't really pay attention to Joe Rogan's podcasts but this one pointed out a big difference between Chinese version and North American version of Tik Tok:

“The way China is handling it is so different than America,” said Rogan. “China’s version of TikTok celebrates academic achievements and athletic achievements. It’s all science projects. All these different fascinating things.”

What makes it even more impressive, in his view, is the fact that it has a ‘youth mode.’ It’s a feature that limits people under 14 from using the app for more than 40 minutes per day, and the shut-off time is 10pm.

He believes this is a good thing. “They’re trying to encourage achievement, right? They’re doing all these things with like this idea of engineering a society of more accomplished, more successful people.”


Social media apps are changing the basic behaviors in youth and how they deal with issues. Now kids are putting how they feel about things online instead of talking to friends and family. That informaion is being mined and analyzed to create apps, products and forum to keep folks coming back to apps like Tik Tok.

Do yourselves a favor and read the book called "Hooked" by Nir Eyal. It is the best resource available in deciphering how social apps and websites work in my opinion.
Seriously ... ... ... Joe Rogan bahahahaha he is dum as soup! He actually said (and I witnessed it) that "Canada is a communist country". Seriously get real.

Socialistic programs and ideas are definitely leaning towards communism. The way our democracy is (or constitutional monarchy if you want to be specific,) our government is NOT the people leading the people, it’s the big headed corps. and puppets making decisions most of us don’t agree with unless you reside with the party in power.

Well what do you have in regards to the topic at hand? Do you disagree with the information he shared and things he highlighted? Do you agree? Do you have other more up to date information? Not picking on you...just want to know what your take is on these social media apps...don't give a shit about Joe Rogan or what he said about Canada...he doesn't live here.
 
If people believe that the real owners of Canada or US will let communism or whatever bastardized form of socialism take over their cash making cow of a country, they are out of their minds.

The way I see it, these elites have everything in place to rule till the end of time. No matter the form of government you have, it's still the rich in control.

Just my opinion of course.
 
Rogans use of the word communism might have been misplaced, technically didn’t met the definition of communism according to the dictionary, but it resonated with the average persons idea of the word.
When people think communist countries, they think of strict leadership and oppression in the masses. “Have nothing and be happy” while the elites live the high life.
Pretty sure we can all agree the past few years have been that for many, if not all, of us.
 
Far from it lol. The basic idea public ownership, the state owned by the people and everything is distributed accordingly.

What you're talking about is either monarchy, oligarchy or theocracy in some cases.
Well how is Russia considered communist then?
Or China?

That's why I said these regimes are far from what communism is supposed to be in paper. They claim they are but in reality, they follow a variation of either a dictatorship or oligarchy. This is evident with Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea et al.

Just like some countries claim being democracy while elections are fixed and every law and state decision is bankrolled the the elite few.

So why is communism (aka Russia) hated Because they are communist if they are not communist?

I don't think Russia is a communist country anymore though. However, the hate is because of the atrocities they have perpetuated during the USSR days, and the rivalry they had with the US. They are coined as the antihero of the western world.

There are countries that portray communist ideals and socialist policies that are more successful like Norway and Switzerland.

I think you mean Sweden. Switzerland is one of the world's most capitalist nations.
